You need to invest $100 today for Project A, and project A is expected to provide a cash flow of $6 a share forever. The beta for this project is 0.75. You need to invest $105 today for Project B, and project B is expected pay $3.5 next year. Thereafter, payment growth is expected to be 3% a year forever. The beta for this project is 0.7. You need to invest $175 today for project C, and project C is expected to pay $1.25, $3.80, and $3.00 over the next three years, respectively. Starting in year 4 and thereafter, dividend growth is expected to be 3.5% a year forever. The beta for this project is 0.5. (a1) What's the expected return of the market portfolio? And what's the beta for this market portfolio? (a2) What is the discount rate for each project? (a3) which project(s) will you invest? And why?

Consider an entrepreneur who plans to invest in a project that requires an initial investment of $1,800 this year. The project will generate either $1,600 or $4,200 next year. The cash flows of the project depend on whether the economy is weak or strong. Both scenarios are equally likely. The risk-free rate is 4% and the risk premium of the project is 12%. Assume perfect capital markets. Now assume that the entrepreneur will borrow $400 at 5% interest rate to finance the project. The cost of equity of the project is closest to: 16.60% 17.72% 18.29% 19.43% None of the above
You have $5000 to invest for 1 year. Fund A has an estimated 4% annual return, and Fund B has an estimated 10% annual return. Fund A is more stable, and preferred among investors with low risk tolerance. Fund B is less stable, but has larger returns. Answer the following questions about this investment opportunity. 1. Suppose you have a low risk-tolerance, and you invest everything in Fund A. How much do you expect to make on your investment?Round to the nearest cent. 2. Suppose you have a medium risk-tolerance, and you want an annual return of $355. You decide to invest part in Fund A and the rest in Fund B. How much do you need to invest in Fund A?
You are considering a project that will cost $50,000 to set up, and will pay out $18,000 1,2,3 and 4 years from today. The unlevered beta for this project is 1.2, the risk free rate is 6.5%, and the expected return on the S&P 500 is 15%. Corporate taxes are 25%. a. What is the unlevered cost of equity for this project? b. What is the NPV of this project if you finance with all equity? c. You are considering borrowing $30,000 to finance this project, with repayment in 4 years. You could normally borrow at 7.5%. The Nebraska state government has offered to lend you the money at 6%. What is the adjusted present value of this project if you take the subsidized loan?
A company has a project with initial investment is $40,000. It will generate $15,000 annually for the next four years. Assume that this company and its project have a beta of 2.0, the risk-free rate of return (i.e., R is 296, and the market return (Le., R is 796?. How much is the NPV of this project?

What is the NPV of each project? b. If the firm can choose only one of these projects, which should it choose? c. If the firm can choose any two of these projects, which should it choose?
Being Finance Manager of Salalah Textiles Industries, you need to invest an amount for OMR 50,000 in the investment market. Assume the market rate of return is 0.11, risk free rate of return is 2.75% and Beta is .73, then:Required:a) What should be required rate of return for your investment?
A company is considering a project that has the following cash flows: C0 = -5,000, C1 = +900, C2 = +2,500, C3 = +1,100, and C4 = +2,900 with a risk-adjusted discount rate of 12%. Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Profitability Index, and the Payback of this project. If you were the manager of the firm, will you accept or reject the project based on the calculation results above?
OmegaTech is considering project A. The project would require an initial investment of $58,500.00, and then have an expected cash flow of $72,800.00 in 4 years. Project A has an internal rate of return of 9.57 percent. The weighted-average cost of capital for OmegaTech is 6.69 percent. The risk of the project is similar to the average risk of the company. Which one of the following assertions is true? The NPV that Omega Tech would compute for project A is less than or equal to -$11.24. The NPV that Omega Tech would compute for project A is greater than -$11.24 but less than $0.00. The NPV that Omega Tech would compute for project A can not be computed from the information provided The NPV that Omega Tech would compute for project A is equal to greater than $0.00.
The risk-free rate is 7%. The expected rate of return on the stock market (S&P500) is 10%. What is the appropriate cost of capital for a project that has a beta of -0.2? Use CAPM formula.

You currently have $50,000 in cash. You have access to a project which requires an initial investment of $50,000. One year from now this project will pay either $40,000 with a probability 50% or $100,000 with probability 50%. After this, there are no further cash flows. Assume risk neutrality and an annual discount rate of 10%. This is also the risk-free rate. (d) You have found investors who will give you a loan for the full cost of the project. You will invest your cash at a risk-free rate. Assume in case of default, these investors can claim all of the project's cash flows, but cannot claim the cash you have invested outside of the project. What is the face value of the loan and the interest rate? How much money do you expect to have one year from now? (e) In light of your numerical answers above, discuss Modigliani and Miller's 1st proposition.
